3/3.5. The first quarter of this book was almost a deal breaker, but moved fast after that. ( )

There is so much I can take from an annoying protagonist, Maysie made it difficult for me to read this book. At first she seem to be a confident female protagonist but for some reason I wasn't buying it. The confidence she tries to portray conflicts with her internal dialogue of comparing herself to other females and she believes Jordan's girlfriend makes more sense to be with him than her because she looks prettier, I guess. And the stoner guy she's supposedly dating or not doesn't respect her. The sorority aspect of the story was not believable, their were immature and were more like high-schoolers. I was fed up with Maysie's constant drinking till she wasn't able to stand straight. Maysie also gives backhanded compliments to other girls, she describes them as beautiful but then goes on to describe their clothing as non-existent, with their boobs and asses hanging out. She then describes her clothing basically sexy but demure. I think she's trying to say these girls are dressed like sluts but not really saying it and at the same time making it sound like a compliment but it's not. I could see where this story was going right away, and that someone was going to get hurt badly and be the bad guy and of course that would be Maysie. ( )

Tedioso es la palabra que mejor describe como fue este libro para mi.

Se me hizo largo, y tuve la tentación de abandonarlo en varias oportunidades. La protagonista, cuyo nombre ya no recuerdo y eso que apenas terminé el libro ayer, resulta insoportable. Al punto de que personajes secundarios como Eli, Vivian y Dominic, quienes apenas son nombrados, me parecieron muchísimo mas interesantes.

El tema es una buena idea, y si hubiera sido desarrollado de otra manera, tal vez hubiese sido un muy buen libro. Pero no fue así. Teniendo como resultado una historia llena de drama -cantidades industriales de drama-, una protagonista insegura al extremo -pero que no para de decir lo bella que es cuando se ve en un espejo-, y muchísimas paginas de más.

La ultima parte del libro, sin embargo, me gustó. Y fue lo único que disfrute leer de toda esta historia.

Viendo los ratings que este libro ha obtenido, puedo notar que una vez más voy contra la corriente. Pero los gustos son subjetivos, así que no duden en darle a esta historia una oportunidad y así poder formar su propia opinión :) ( )

Check out my review and three teasers here: http://frommetoyouvideophoto.blogspot.com/2013/02/feasted-on-bad-rep-by-meredith... ( )

I've been wanting to read A Meredith Walters for a long time -- she has so many books that are well-received, it is hard to know where to start -- and finally set my mind to this one because it is a stand-alone (the next in the "series" is of the relationship between Her roommate and one of His band mates).

This is a NA college romance and, while it was okay, it wasn't unusual or distinctive. A bit too much yo-yo-ing, but that is typical college romance. Perfect for an easy-read-need for a beach vacay. ( )
